I am a pencil artist and I keep these around to keep my pencils with a sharp point at all time. They are so much better than anything else that I have used and stay sharp the longest without eating the wood. The only ones better are the discontinued Hunt Boston and Panasonic electric pencil sharpeners. I would NEVER buy Prismacolor sharpeners, buy Derwent or this. Derwent also makes a battery operated pencil sharpener with 2 sharpeners in one, one sharpener for a really long tip and another for a regular tip. It lasts forever or if you can find it Panasonic makes a battery operated one also that is good.Also, X-ACTO bought out Hun Boston so you need to be careful when buying as X-ACTO will state they are selling a Hun Boston and it actually is a X-ACTO. You can tell byu the model number, the X-ACTO has a 4 digit model number, for example a #1818, whereas Hun Boston (also known as Boston) will have a 2 digit model number as in #18. DO NOT BUY X-ACTO for colored pencils, it will ruin your pencils!!!
